Event Information:
Bach Musica NZ presents Handel's dramatic oratorio Samson. Handel Samson Rita Paczian conductor Joanna Foote Soprano Kate Spence Alto Andrew Grenon Tenor Joel Amosa Bass Samuel McKeever Bass Handel composed Samson immediately after Messiah in 1741. It proved an instant success and has never fallen out of favour since then. The libretto is based on Milton's Samson Agonistes. As Milton was blind, he could emphasise with the blindness of Samson, as indeed could Handel whose sight was also beginning to fail. It is a highly operatic work, from a famous operatic composer. The chorus's role is like the Greek chorus in that it sets the scene, offers moral comments, describes the action in thrilling detail and thus gives a backdrop to the various soloists whose characters are vividly portrayed through Handel's dramatic writing.
